THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST. 28, 1920 8, ATTACK 1 CDNT NUED BY COX Further Evidence on Charges Not Given. SILENCE NOT UNDERSTOOD Covcrnor Would Hare Hardin; Make Some Kxplanation ot Campaign Contributions. (Continued From First rase.) tpham that the $8,145,000 contribu tion quota list presented by the can didate at Pittsburg was phony," Gov ernor Cox said: "The senate committee can find out perfectly well who attended this meet ing at which these lists were distrib uted by the republican leaders. It is a matter that can be got at in a per fectly simple way. Silence Not Understood. "Another thins that I don't under stand is why Mr. Harding and Mr. Hays are not coming forward with some explanation of why this quota list was kept secret.1' Almost from the moment of his ar rival here Governor Cox during a day of hustling campaigning, started hammering at the republican finances. He made four addresses. He spoke at a largo public meeting at a theater tonight. At all he was received with enthusiasm. Besides his criticism of the repub lican contributions, the governor in all his addresses urged vigorously the entrance of America into tbe league of nations and to an audience at Savin Rock he made what his auditors regarded as a reference to the ques tion of Irish freedom, the first of his campaign. In pleading for the league. Gover nor Cox stated that it was put for ward by President Wilson in the lat ttr's delineation of the 14 points, one of which was "self-determination of free people." "The league of nations," he con tinued, "does not abridge the right of any racial entity to determine its own destiny. The league was never in tended to be and under its administra tion it never will be, an agency that will restrain or discourage the same kind of emotions of any people." The statement was cheered. , The Irish question also entered into the arrangements for the governor's .peaking programme. An announce ment that Professor Irving Fisher of Yale university, a strong league ad vocate and one of a group which once memorialized congress to refrain from acting in the Irish freedom dispute, would speak tonight, brought ob jections from Irish sympathizers. Pro fessor Kisher offered to strike his address from the programme to avoid possible unpleasantness, but announced that many college profes eors and other "progressives and in dependents" soon would organize to work for the league and Governor Cox's election. Speech Made From Table. The governor's speeches to all au diences here except to soldiers at Arlington hospital were replete with jeferences to republican contributions. "Men are trying to buy the presi dential election in order that a fa vored few other than the average man may have his interests consid ered first," the governor charged at a democratic picnic which he ad dressed standing on a table sprinkled with used crockery. The governor continued: "Much to the consternation of those on the other side, I am going to con tinue rubbing that sore spot until the second of November. "I have heard names of men in Ohio who have sent contributions and it has been a singular coincidence that many who have written large checks are the same men who visited the governor's office at Columbus and wanted me to order out our soldiers in strikes and industrial disputes. these men are seeking to buy an ad ministration favorable to the use of the bayonet in strikes. "Emasculation" Is Charged. ine candidate reiterated that as governor he had never used soldiers j or "fired a shot" in any Industrial ! controversy, but had used the golden rule succcessfully, and he urged its application to the nation's industrial problems. Public opinion can and should settle strikes, he declared. Bankers seeking to "emasculate" the federal reserve act. Governor Cox also asserted, are contributing to the republican fund. "Don't think that these contribu tions are being made because of patriotism," he said. "A great many of the men who are writing the largest checks remained at home making fortunes while the American boys were overseas. "They have their eyes on the fed eral reserve act, which they fought." Hospital Patients Addressed. In advocating the league. Governor Cox made a new text of impressions during his visit to the tubercular sol diers' hospital. On the hospital lawn he addressed convalescents and hos pital attendants, comprising the youths "who risked their all that the nation might live." "As a result of the emotions caused by what I have seen here," said the governor, "I shall go away stronger in my resolve to give every thing in me in our effort to make war impossible." He told later audiences of his hos pital visit and declared that he "was inspired to make war as impossible as it is humanly possible to make it. The world's civilization and eco nomic safety. Governor Cox declared, depend upon success of the league. "The time has come," he continued, "to put the house of civilization in order. The mothers of America are going to register their verdict on be half of the league. "The issues of this campaign are not political. They involve the prog ress and prosperity of America and the peace of America and the world as well." "Senatorial Oligarchy" Reiterated. Reiterating that his fight was . against the republican leaders, the senatorial oligarchy," and not the republican rank and file. Governor Cox continued: "First of all. the democracy of the nation intends to keep the faith. We intend in our administration not to . forget the boys who sleep overseas. Urging international disarmament as a means of meeting nations' obligations and also as a measure tor world peace. Governor Cox said. "The high moral purpose of the na tions is this: That all nations shall stop carrying concealed weapons; that their representatives shall sit at a table and agree to stop the building of armament and turn their resources to industrial purposes." Governor Cox inveighed against "this senseless, needless, inhuman competition in the buying of arma ments," and predicted that cessation would reduce taxes in all countries and also aid greatly in their Im mediate war rehabilitation. Jealousy of President Wilson and the democratic administration was largely the cause. Governor Cox said, of the republican leaders' opposition to the league. Referring to the democratic war administration, the governor added: "If you would search the heart of the average republican politician you will find resentment because the Almighty God left him sitting on the bleachers." The governor told his audiences that "the hosts of democracy are marching forward to certain victory this fall." Cox Grows Sarcastic In his final address tonight Gover nor Cox commented sarcastically on the statements by Senator Harding, Chairman Hays and Treasurer Upham with reference to his contribution charges, and also declared that 8S men attended the meeting in Chicago when the contribution quota lists were circulated. "Senator Harding indorses the plan and states his knowledge of the facts," said Governor Cox. reading from the republican literature "that the organ ization is to cover every state and every county. Then he states that he knows nothing about it and that Hays and Upham are running the campaign. I am disposed to agree with him. There are many things be ing done now by the crowd surround ing Senator Harding of which he is apparently ignorant, and if he should become president many other things would be done by this .crowd and he would not know anything more about them than he says he does about the contributions." Governor Cox read from several of the republican treasurer's official bulletins. His copies, the governor said, humorously, were "mysterious mes sengers of good tidings that came to me from a very strange source and were never intended to get into my hands nor yours." Brandegee Is Rapped. Attacking the alleged secrecy im posed upon recipients of the Bulletin, Governor Cox said that some idea of probable contributions could be gained when it was considered that there are 10,000 postoffices in the country and that the quota list totaled $8,145,000 for only 51 cities. The contribution question, the can didate declared, Is a matter of-"plain, national honesty and decency." "No small group of men having po tential millions and millions .behind them should be permitted to buy a governmental underhold," said the governor. Governor Cox urged the election to the senate of Homer S. Cummings, Connecticut national committeeman, and characterizing Senator Brande gep as "one of Senator Lodge's major generals," declared that the repub lican senator was, "entitled to retire $20 1 15 . SAYS T mm OPE Cox More Than Doubles Sum ' Raised, Is Reply. RIVAL CAMP MONEY FREE Democratic Quota Is Probably (greater Than Republican, Chairman Speculates. FURTHER 'tXPOSKS' PROMISED Cox Greeted at "ew York by Lead ers, Including Oswald West. ' NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Governor Cox, democratic presidential nominee. indicated here today ho would make further "exposes" of republican cam paign funds within a week. Governor Cox arrived from Pitts burg at 10:35 o'clock today, pausing for only a short time before proceed ing to New Haven. George White, chairman of the dem ocratic national committee; Senator Harrison of Mississippi, head of the speakers . Dureau. and otner demo cratic leaders stepped aboard the train to greet the standard-bearer of their party. Repetition, in part, of the evidence he presented last night at Pittsburg to substantiate his charges of a $15, 000,000 republican "corruption fund' was planned today ,by Governor "Cox at New Haven and also tomorrow at New York. Among democratic leaders at the station to greet Mr. Cox, who did not leave his car, were Homer S. Cum mings, former chairman of tne demo cratic national committee, and Oswald West, former governor of Oregon. James M. Cox Jr., now a student in military academy, was here to greet his father. James Jr. sprang a sensation of his own when he announced to news paper men that he was planning to accompany his father on his western campaign trip. Dan Mahoney, the governor's son-in-law, broke in on the youngster to announce that hi father had not been informed of his plans and that the announcement of James Jr. "was considerably an error as he was going back to school September 15." Referring to an announcement from Will H. Hays, chairman of the re publican national committee, that in dividual campaign con tributions would be restricted to $1000, Mr. Cox said: "Mr. Hays knows that such statement isn't true. The methods used by the republicans are to get some big fellow to give $20,000 or "25.000, after which 19 to 24 dummy names are written down as contribu tors on the 'party's books."" Mr. Cox said that if the senate committee Investigating campaign funds really wished him to appear before it in Chicago, he would do so. "The senate committee now has the necessary leads. If it wishes to in vestigate, it will call in republican state leaders and learn from them who "the county and city leaders are, and then get all the details. I have every confidence that the senate com mittee will go to the bottom of my charges. "A year ago I said that the republi cans were going back to the method of Mark Hanna and that, they would be defeate0 with their own money. This is still my belief." When Governor Cox was aaked about reports concerning democratic national finance of a year ago, he said: "I came on board the democratic ship July 7. I know, nothing about what happened before that time. "One thing I can tell you, though. Is that I found a deficit but no money." COX ADOPTS MUD SLINGING (Continued From First Page.) Chicago was chosen as the next con-j vention city. Other officers elected were: First vice-Dresident. John W. O'Connor. New York City. becond vice-president. Lieutenant Jobs &lartln. Chicago.

The convention voted to change the name of the organization from Na tional Traffic Officers' association to International Traffic Officers' association. The theft committee reported a oro- posal that abstract of titles showing previous owners should be required in tne sale of all cars, just as in th transfer of real estate. EXPRESS INCREASE ASKED 15 PER CENT RISE OX TOP OF 12 H GRANTED, PIEAD. "As with all the other loose state roents which have been made by Gov ernor Cox, the one regarding the pur ported "republican slush fund' has not been borne out by the facts," com mented Thomas H. Tongue Jr. of Hillsboro, chairman of the republican state central committee, when inter viewed over the long distance tele phone yesterday. To justify his ?15.000,000 figure, Governor Cox multiplies his listed figures by two. The result in Ore gon is that his quota from this state is five times the sum really raised, Voluntary contributions from the en tire state of Oregon have been only J20.000. Governor Cox gives Port land alone a quota of $50,000. This is two and a half times the quota raised in the state. Then he doubles that amount to get his grand total, an ex aggeraVion five times the correct sum so far as Oregon is concerned. No Respect for Kacts Shown. 'The same ratio of gross exaggera tion must apply to the figures made public by the democratic candidate concerning other sections of the coun try. Governor Cox has shown no re spect for facts or figures but has tried to mislead the public into be lieving that large funds have been raised by the republican party for the purpose of corrupting voters. As matter of fact, a very low sum has been raised for the. national republi can campaign probably a. great deal less than has been raised by the dem ocrats. 'In Oregon the democrats have money and are spending money at the present time, while the republicans have only sufficient funds to main tain a state headquarters." "If the accusations of Governor Cox are as correct regarding other states as they are concerning Oregon, if his statements as to 'quotas' of other cities are as accurate as the one made regarding Portland, we can see read Ity why so few people have any con fidence in his charges," commented Ralph Williams, republican national committeeman from Oregon, yester day. t21tOOO Sam Raised Id State. "The total quota for the entire state of Oregon was $25,000 and be tween $20,000 and $21,000 was raised by voluntary subscription and sent from this state to the treasurer o the national republican committee, This amount was made up from all parts of the state and includes all the money the national committee has raised in Oregon." Clarence R. Hotchkiss, secretary o the republican state central commit tee, declared the $50,000 quota sup posed to have been allotted to Port land to be a. figment of the imagina tion. "I keep the books of the committee and know absolutely that the state' ment is false. As to the money raised for running the state headquarters for the republican party in Oregon, it can be counted in hundreds, not thou eands." JACKSON MAPS CAMPAIGN Testimony in Support of Applica tion Presented by Representa tives of Company. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Testi mony in support of its application for an additional increase of 15 per cent in express rates to cover Increased wages was presented by representa tives of the American Railway Ex press company today to examiners of the Interstate Commerce Commission. ine nearing developed virtually no opposition of shippers. The examiners later stated that the catse would be submitted without de lay to the commission, although no decision is expected before September 15, when the Increase of 12 per cent already allowed the express company will become effective. Li. R. Gwynn, chairman of the wages and working conditions com mittee, and Charles A. Lutz. comp iroiier ot tne express company, ap peared tn support of the application, while H. T. Moore, traffic manager for the Atlanta, Ga., freight bureau urged limitation of the advance to 10 per cent. Mr. Gwynn said that instead of the increased wages as awarded by the railroad labor board totaling $30,000, 000 as estimated by the board, they would reach 42,236,340. Immediate relief is necessary, Mr Lutz asserted. The express company for the firt six months of 1920, he said, had a deficit of $21,097,132 which did not include increased pay retroactive to May 1, provided in the wafre board's award. He .estimated the back pay at $3,000,000 monthly for both May and June. THREE DIE IN IRISH FIRE nnnm rT i nm pint dUHAH b AH b tfth ! TO AID IN GAWIPAIGN Senator to Go First to New York and Indiana. WEST MAY BE STUMPED Idaho Senator Declares That He Will Start Tour In Eat From Indianapolis. BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 27. Senator William E Borah left Boise today for eastern citie3 to take part in the republican campaign. Just before his departure, he said: "I am going east to take part In the campaign. From September 15 to November 3, I expect to spend my time with It. In the Immediate fu ture I expect to be in Indiana, and New York and will start my eastern campaign at Indianapolis. "Later in the campaign I expect to be sent again to the west, if not to Idaho, though I will probably be in Idaho some time in October. I have already delivered 20 speeches in this state and for this reason the cam paign leaders think I should be avail able elsewhere. "In my speeches I will deal with the league of nations and the restoration of constitutional government. , On these subjects I will present my views without regard to strict agreement with the view of any leader. They (the campaign leaders) are anxious to have me do it." "I am going to Chicago for a con ference with the national committee. particularly Senator New, chairman of- the speaker's bureau. I hope to get back into Idaho in October. I as sume that by that time the candidates on the republican ticket will have made their position clear on matters in which some of us are deeply con cerned so that I may be of some real service. "As to the primary, the republican platform declined to indorse the con vention system and does declare in favor of the primary principle. I am sure Governor Davis will make his position clear on this issue. Already some of the papers are construing it as an indorsement of the convention system, which, in my opinion, is wholly without justification, while others are construing It in favor of the primary system. Whatever cam paigning I may do in the state I shall do on the theory that it is a declara tion in favor of the primary system." TWO GIRLS AND MAX LIVES IX ATTACK. LOSE Blazes Are Declared Started in Re prisal for Dcstrojlnjr Prop erty of Catholics. DUKOALK, Ireland, Aug. 27. Two sales girls and one salesman were burned to death .' l stores of two Protestant unionist tradesmen in Dun- dalk early today. The buildings were set on Are. The homes of the own ers of the stores were burned. The fire spread to adjacent property, including the Ulster bank, which was damaged.' The assertion is made that the fires were started in reprisalfor the destruction of property of Catho lics in Lisburn and Belfast. Strong Speakers Wanted in County Women Confer. Jackson county republicans are planning a lively campaign, according to S. S. Smith, state committeeman in a letter to Chairman Tongue; re ceived at state headquarters yester day. Mr. Smith reports that the coun ty committee of which C. S. Butter- field of Medford is chairman, is active. Requests have been made for sev eral strong speakers during the cam paign. Mrs. Perozzi of Ashland and members of the state executive com mittee visited Medford Wednesday and conferred with republican women as to their participation in the; cam paign. John Y. Richardson, republican nom inee for presidential elector, yester day volunteered his services in the campaign as spaker or organizer. W. B. Dennis of Carleton was among the callers at headquarters. He reported that the Yamhill county committee, headed by Sam Loughlin, had completed its precinct organiza tion and that Yamhill republicans were going to roll up a bigger plu rality than had ever been given the republican ticket in previous presi dential campaigns. before the senate investigating com mittee and develop the secrets of the democratic campaign fund before the same body. Certain prohibition leaders take still another view of the campaign fund controversy. They express doubt as to whether the money charges will change a vote either way, but they do believe that something is going to break that will expose and end for all time the activities of the bootleg ger ring alleged to have operated so boldly 'in some sections of the coun try since the nomination of Governor Cox by the democrats. The charges telegraphed to Chair man Kenyon of the senate campaign fund investigating committee by E. Hutson, publisher of the Labor World at Pittsburg and former publisher of the Liquor Dealers' Journal, proved ot especial interest to the drys. It has been a notorious fact for some time that .Pittsburg was -the "wettest" district in the United States, as charged by Hutson, and his further charge that the "saloons of the city were running wide open on democratic assurances that they will not be molested" , seemed to afford some explanation of the terrible con ditions. The big reception to Gov ernor Cox in Pittsburg last night is regarded by dry leaders as an ovation by "wets", to a great kindred spirit. COX SPEECH HERE IS URGED Big Xight Meeting in Portland Will Be PJanned. Dr. C. J. Smith, chairmai of the state democratic central committee. telegraphed Senator Pat Harrison, in charge of the routing of the western tour of Governor Cox, yesterday, urg ing an extension of six hours in Port land, permitting the candidate to speak in Salem and Eugene and ad dress a big night meeting in Portland, The remainder of the itinerary would not be affected seriously, be lieves Dr. Smith, and this would give the governor opportunity to deliver an address at night in Portland, which is prevented by the present arrange ments, which would bring him into Portland on Sunday and which call for his departure Monday afternoon.
